Muscles Worked

Gluteus medius
Secondary: Gluteus minimus, core stabilizers, deep hip rotators

Tips

Maintain a stable pelvis; avoid any rotation. Focus on outward thigh rotation at the hip socket. Lowering with control (2 seconds up, 1 second hold, 2 seconds down) maximizes glute medius activation. Feel the contraction on the side of your hip; lower back or inner thigh activation indicates improper form. Combine with donkey kicks for a complete glute warm-up.
